This bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create a voluntary framework within one year to help detect, remove, and report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in datasets used to train artificial intelligence systems. The framework will provide guidelines and best practices for AI developers and data collectors—companies and individuals who build AI systems and prepare training data—but does not apply to companies that only deploy or use existing AI systems. NIST will work with other federal agencies, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, law enforcement, and private sector stakeholders to develop the framework and will also support research into innovative detection methods. The bill provides liability protection for AI developers and data collectors who follow the framework, though this protection does not apply if they intentionally misconduct themselves, act with reckless disregard, or engage in crimes related to child exploitation. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the text.
